The ideal of connected information is becoming fractured, and it’s happening more and more with the increased popularity of simple blogging engines like Tumblr. This trend is of no use to creators or readers. It’s easier to throw a photo into a shoe box with other photos than it is to carefully catalogue it and store it with some consideration. The more people blindly post things without the associated information, the more the web becomes a massive, useless shoebox.’ Actually, ‘shoebox’ would have been a good alternative name for Tumblr.
